Sir Stephen Hough, the first classical artist to be awarded the prestigious MacArthur Genius Fellowship, brings his powerful creative, interpretive, and intellectual gifts to the stage in a performance that promises to be both fresh and spontaneous. With a career spanning four decades, Hough has consistently infused his performances with a sense of wonder and discovery. This event is part of the Robert and Ruth Dell Piano Series and features a program that includes Chaminade's "Automne," "Scarf Dance," "Toccata," "Theme Varie," "Autre Fois," and "Les Sylvains," as well as Liszt's "Sonata in B Minor" and Chopin's "Sonata in B Minor." Named by The Economist as one of the "Twenty Living Polymaths," Hough combines his distinguished career as a pianist with those of a composer and writer. His extensive discography, which includes around 70 CDs, has garnered international awards and accolades. Hough's recent engagements have seen him perform with leading orchestras and at major concert halls and festivals across five continents. His ability to bring a fresh perspective to classical music makes this performance a unique and enriching experience.

Classical Coffee Morning at the Royal Albert Hall: Louis-Victor Bak

Royal Albert Hall

Fantastic dances, distant waltzes and visions of a dream of Spain. For French composers like Ravel and Chaminade, Spain was a wonderland of the imagination – but for a Spaniard like Manel de Falla, it was something altogether wilder and more real. Charles Owen – a born storyteller at the piano – takes us south, for a concert filled with both shadows and sunshine.
